 great.  btw, do try to avoid using functions with the word "test" in
them unless they're an actual unit test (shorten to tst or something)
- nosetests3 .../test_xxx.py throws several errors.

 sigh indeed.  not sure if there's much that can be done about that,
although i have started doing this at the top of functions:
 comb = m.d.comb
 sync = m.d.sync

 it reduces indentation by 4 and allows things to fit onto one line in
many cases.
